That decision is supposed to represent the hard choices a president sometimes faces. But Bush and his apologists seem to <i>revel</i> in it -- like he was man enough to give the order. And yet ... and yet ... he was ordering the military to kill U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Collateral damage. Friendly fire.

perhaps it was no ordinary pretzel. maybe it was a penis-shaped pretzel. one with erectile <i>function</i>. engorged with hot manliness. and attached to Cheney.

"loving life" -- just like the 3000 Americans who died on 9/11 under his watch. Or the 5000 soldiers who died in battle following his orders. and the tens of thousands of Iraqis.

"loving life" like the widows and orphans and bereaved parents he left in his wake.

I assume someone has already made a "thousand points of dark" or some such.

Does his memoir mention him reading the Presidential Daily Briefing titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S." on August 6, 2001 and telling the CIA briefer, "All right. You've covered your ass, now", before going fishing for the rest of the day?

A top Bush source explains: "You will find the president strong, loving life, and ultimately at peace with the decisions he made."

In other words, he never really had a clue.

But I know you aren't.
